Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall grade, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's above average category scores came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our higher grades in that category, with a score of B+. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia.

Short-term Care Quality
The third highest area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at was nursing. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Lastly, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused statistics. We especially look at the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
